Top 3 Favorite Albums Buy New or Used via AmazonRent via iTunes [?]Buffy Sainte-Marie: “Power in the Blood”
This is the first time I’ve ever bought a new BSM album, including going back to her early 60s records. The point? I didn’t expect to be blown away like I was after initially streaming it on NPR. Buffy’s lyrics remain topical, of course, while her voice is surprisingly as powerful as ever; it soars over the modern beats of three producers (mainly Michael Phillip Wojewoda), creating an unexpected, perfect marriage of styles. The woman is glorious!Hear: “It’s My Way” (2015 version) and “Power in the Blood”

Stephen Duffy returns with TLT’s first album since 2008 with a gorgeous, bucolic effort, seamlessly captivating from start to finish.Hear: “Prussian Blue”

Buy New or Used via AmazonRent via iTunes [?]Don Henley: “Cass County”
Another unexpected treat, especially since Henley’s solo albums have never done much for me, except for a few songs here and there. For this project, Henley returned to his country Texas roots to fashion an album that could’ve been the soundtrack to “The Last Picture Show”. Poignant and stunning all the way through.Hear: “Younger Man”
